Pyrett is an AI guided water turret fire supression system, which allows for the quick extinguishing of fires within a specified area. Using a combination of YOLOv8 and a gantry mechanism, we were able to create a functional and high precision prototype.

Many fires happen in homes and businesses every year, and people usually use sprinklers to put them out. But sprinklers can cause a lot of water damage to the property, sometimes more than the fire itself. That’s because sprinklers spray water everywhere until someone turns them off, and they need to be replaced after each use. This can ruin things like electronics, machines, furniture, etc and cost a lot of money to fix. We made a water turret that can find and target a fire using a smart algorithm and put it out precisely. This way, we can stop the fire faster and use less water, and avoid damaging the property with too much water.
